Best ever??? Wow! I really like that solo, and it was probably his best one to date, but I do think others have eclipsed it.
Yeah. I'd say even the solo on the outro of The Necromancer is cooler and as soon as A Farewell To Kings hit Xanadu stole the title anyway.
There's such a thing called "feel," gentlemen.
Sure, it's not the most technically challenging solo he's done - far from it. But as familiar as I am with Rush's entire catalogue, I can't think of another solo that's so emotive.
Soliloquy, Available Light, Mission, and Limelight are all very emotive.
No One at the Bridge is great, but I think he kept getting better.
Agreed. I think Soliloquoy might be my favorite, and therefore his best.
